[@charlesgarber5911]

I'm not entirely surprised that someone would write that, to be honest. As a practicing Catholic, I've always been curious as to the importance of Mary Magdalene and the fact that she was treated by Jesus as one of his confidantes. Personally, I get this sense and feeling that while orthodox Catholicism states that the spirit is male (i.e. masculine), I've personally always felt a feminine energy from that part of the trinity. It's definitely an interesting idea, but of course I can only go my own intuition, as I don't have any primary or secondary sources to define or defend those ideas.

For many years it's been my contention, having delved into interlinear translations, that the reference to the, "beloved/who he loved" disciple was Mary M., particularly from John 19:27 since all it took was to change neutral word to masculine. Also in the "naming" of Simon, the Greek word, according to concordances [Strong's, Thayer's, etc.] was, "petras" rather than, "petra" changing the meaning from, "shard/gravel/pebble" to the universally used, "rock" , which would make sense that Jesus would be making a joke about the conspicuously irascible and slow to understand Simon finally getting something right. Ironic though in light of where the name, "Peter" has been used ever since, eh? Another term that's questionable to me is disciple. disciple - from the Greek mathités which means, "students" or "schoolchildren", in one instance the meaning is specified as the first stage of learning, what we'd call kindergarten. Disciple has come to be understood as ones who completely understand and fully accept the ideology of the teacher.

[@SergioBriMa]

I’m catholic and my understanding of disciple is just as a willing student of the teachings of Christ. And from my own understanding a disciple should never embrace any ideology, since ideology blinds us from Truth. What cultural/denominational niches do you see this mistaken understanding of disciple occur? I’m sure that even happens in Catholicism just that my own experiences have been much more grounded in the nuance that comes with truly understanding since we keep making new mistakes even when the old ones get fixed.

[@ryanrevland4333]

The problem with Mary Magdalen being the disciple Jesus loved is John 19:26 - _When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, 'Woman, here is your son.'_ Lazarus is the one identified as the one Jesus loved in John 11:3 _So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick._

[@chameleontoo]

@@ryanrevland4333 Seems like he loved quite a few people, eh? John 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. The point being no man was acknowledged when iterating who was at the foot of the cross and it was the one word, which was sex neutral btw, as, "he" that I see the problem with. It's suggested in the concordances [plural] that it should be interpreted as a "they" or "them as appropriate to the context. Just sayin'

Do you think it might be profitable, to include in the discussion the work of Glenn Kimball? While I realize getting ahold of much of his work is difficult following his death (as his family seems to be suppressing the vast catalogue of his recordings), there are still some lectures and interviews up on KZbin... not to mention two of his three small books. His contention is that there is post-extra-Biblical evidence that Mary the mother of Jesus, Magdaline and Joseph of Arimathea (among several others close to Jesus) fled or were forced out of the Holy Land and migrated to countries up north. I think his insight into records of this migration northward and the impact of their potential presence in northern countries is terribly fascinating and, potentially, very important. For anyone interested in this subject, I would highly recommend taking Glenn's lifetime of work into consideration.

Paul didn't say women couldn't be prophets. He said, in fact, that a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered is shameful. In other words, he acknowledged the fact that women prayed and prophesied in the assembly. He just said they need to wear a head covering. The women who he said should remain silent in the churches were not prophesying or praying but must have been causing a a disturbance of some kind. He said that if they have questions, they need to ask their husbands at home. But prophetesses are well established in the church.

[@Stadtpark90]

As I myself am interested in Catastrophism, I’m always drawn to possible esoteric meanings in scripture (and all sorts of traditions ), so I found it interesting that someone else was asking about the anointment of the feet, the meaning of the hair (as rays) and the tears etc. - and also interesting then your explanation that Myrrhe is the pointer to death and the Egg to resurrection (- btw. the egg has a shell that comes off; significance see below). As my favorite interpretation of catastrophism has shifted somewhat away from comet impact to micro-nova, my own question in this story was drawn to the linen / cloth left behind after Christ has risen, and the angel in white cloth. Esoterically death and resurrection of Christ becomes about death and resurrection of the Human Civilization after the last reset, and with the sun being the actor, it becomes ultimately about death and resurrection of the sun. So my interpretation of the left behind linen would be an outer shell / layer of the sun (that may have dimmed the suns light for a time) that gets blown away by an eruption. (Something similar but larger may have recently have happened with the temporary dimming of Betelgeuse). I was recently drawn to repeating in my mind the “Memorial Acclamation” in my head, although I have been considering myself an atheist for more than a decade now, I was actually raised as a believer (I’m German and Lutheran). “We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection, until you come again.” In my head it is German of course: “Deinen Tod, oh Herr, verkünden wir. Deine Auferstehung preisen wir, bis Du kommst in Herrlichkeit. - Geheimnis des Glaubens.” “Bis Du kommst in Herrlichkeit.” actually translates as: until you come in Glory. And when I think of Glory, I think of Gloriole = Nimbus, which also conveys the image of a blown away layer with the brightest rays coming from the center. And awaiting that kind of “glory” again at the end of the age points of course to a repeating event / sun cycle. I could go on, how the twelve apostles represent the zodiac, and thus refer to the cycle of the Great Year (see precession of the equinoxes; watch some Randall Carlson for instance), so I thought: maybe Mary Magdalene being the first witness to resurrection might make her also an object on the sky (maybe Venus getting passed by the blown away layer first, so Venus enters the “grave” in a manner of speaking: which would make Mercury “the beloved” Apostle (Mercury is always facing the sun! It stopped revolving around itself)) etc. - there is a whole rathole to go down (Who is Peter? the Earth? Who are the 500? The Asteroid Belt? ). But there it gets complicated: there already is Mary (the mother of god / the virgin sign of the zodiac) on the sky… - but that’s another story. maybe there can be multiple Mary. P.S.: I know: scripture has many layers of text / authors, and also many layers of meaning, and not every layer of text has a correspondence to every layer of meaning. Still it is fun to try to get at the esoteric stuff (especially in John), even if sometimes I’m being anachronistic (or worse) in finding my own layers, that actually aren’t there at all.

Also, did I understand correctly that we think Mary Magdalene must be historical for the reason that Magdala is not a real place and someone wouldn't invent a non-real place? But wouldn't the non-existence of the village in the historical record at least open the door to invention? I believe the argument is that inventing a non-real place doesn't help someone trying to feign historicity (therefore it must be a real place that didn't make it into the records), but I don't think Mary Magdalene was used as an anchor to history. I think she served a dialectic purpose, and the name Magdalene tells us something about what she represents. Was "woman from Magdala" a Greek colloquialism prior to the gospel stories? I assume it's only because of them, which would mean she's "Mary of the Tower" or something like that. Either way, her character seems to serve the lesson of the story, not represent a historical patron or leader.

Jacapo explains that Syro was a Syrian nobleman, whose wife, Eucharia (Mary's mother), was of royal kindred. He continues, "Mary Magdalene was born of a right noble lineage, and her parents descended from the lineage of Kings." In a much earlier manuscript by Archbishop Rabanus Maurus, Eucharia is more fully detailed as a descendant of the Royal House of Israel. That was not the Davidic House of Judah but the priestly Hasmonaean House of the Maccabees, who reigned in Jerusalem from 166 BC until the Roman occupation of 63 BC under General Pompeii.

Mary Magdalene was a preacher, that is how she met HIM, by going to his secret teachings.

[@Art-ot2jn]

Mary was a prostitute so the bible says

[@loriwoods305]

Mary is Jesus wife

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Being a witness to the risen Christ is not the be-all-and-end-all qualification for an apostle. Lots of people had seen Jesus after His resurrection but not all of them were apostles. "Because I say so" is not the basis for strong doctrine.

[@elenalatici9568]

I was waiting for the Da Vinci Code. 😅

[@longcastle4863]

So Mary Magdalene did not sell all she owned and give all her money to the poor, but instead did use her wealth to occasionally help Jesus and his apostles out? So the “sell all that you own” thing and “follow me”, was not a thing necessarily set in stone? Ah, but listening further to this excellent lecture, it occurs to me that although Mary Magdalene may have been relatively wealthy, she may still, nevertheless, not have been in a position to give away all her wealth, either because she was married or due to some other reason (e.g., maybe it was her father who controlled her wealth or because women at the time were not allowed to make such decisions..) 🤔

One very important fact that all leave out is All the people close o Jesus were Essenes

[@iwilldi]

There are a few things wrong here referring to Mark. @8:00 - Jesus mother is not unnamed. - the women are not led by Mary Magdalene. She is just the first listed. in all 3 mentions. - not just the family is painted in a bad light. Mark also paints Jesus in a bad light. - the most obvious feature in Mark has been left out: the end mirrors the beginning. there is a simple reason for this behavour: Mark was a deconverted ex-christian. And he tells all the reasons to his deconverion in an allegorical way. Overall i would say it is a comprehensive good introduction, even considering alternative views.

[@maxwellmaxwell3042]

How did Mark paint Jesus is a bad light?

[@iwilldi]

@@maxwellmaxwell3042 Gethsemane. The Author of John's gospel thinks this is unbearable. This is the shortest and most obvious example a christian would object to.

[@carmelo1509]

Great lecture. I have just discovered these and will be watching more of them. One question, though., Why does this lecturer seem so sure that the authors of Matthew and Luke were not aware of each other? I know this is a popular view, but by no means a fact.

[@shipaskof8371]

The Joseph of Arimathea stuff is probably untrue. Jesus was most likely thrown in a mass grave along with other "criminals".

[@kennymilne6817]

Nope, his body was taken to "be with his ancestors".

[@razony]

Where did Mary M exist outside of the Bible? Otherwise, your discussing a character in a story, within a story. One needs to bring validity of her existence.

@@stingingmetal9648 Oh, I know. The Bible is a manmade 'Who done it, murder mystery.' This book has more riddles it, than the Jokers handbook.

I am... Sorry.... (And not) I Am troubled that you cannot see the connection here. Those who 'seen Jesus in the flesh' were able to believe and understand Jesus because He is the 'word' or the 'law'. Where Paul was such an awesome 'lawyer' - that his vision which had 'scales' (of judgement) only needed a 'perspective' change in order for Paul to 'see the Truth'. Yes. I am a 'prophet'. ...and you are running out of time. Shalom.

[@quakers200]

Is it like nobody is going to check anything someone says because less than 1% of the words in the bible are spoken by women. Mary mother of Jesus spoke four times. At least two of the times she speaks Jesus rebukes her. Paul thinks very highly of a woman in one of the churches he visited and then famously tells women to be quiet ( probably a scribal insertion). It was only after Adam rejected the animals that God decided to make Eve out of Adams spare parts. In America the various religions stood opposed to a woman's right to vote.

[@HistoryandReviews]

“Spare parts”? Uhh no he didn’t. The Hebrew says God took from Adam’s “side”

[@J31624]

Adam did not 'reject' the animals. Rejected them in what way? He gave them all names: (Gen 2: 19 (KJV) (which means he named the 'serpent' also). God knew he needed a partner for himself and made Eve from one of Adams own bones, 'bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh', (Gen 2 :23 (KJV) not 'spare parts'.....from his very substance, out of his body. One flesh.

IF SHE EXISTED SHE DEFINITELY DONT NOT LOOK LIKE THAT NOBODY IN THE BIBLE WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE THAT

[@dougrobinson6683]

Is every exchange between the apostles dialectic? Is anything in the gospels not dialectic? How late could the gospels conceivably be? Is it all too late to preserve historical information, because that's not what it was trying to do? Could it be that the gospels are trying to grant authority in the great argument for which "new" traditions should win out following the destruction of the 2nd temple and the Roman decimation of Jerusalem?

[@dougrobinson6683]

Also, IF Philo and Logos-theology is the germ for Jesus Christ, is there any scholarship for John being the original Gospel? It's definitely closest to Philo, and then could explain the synoptic gospels attempting to put the Logos-made-flesh into actual history, perhaps using Josephus (which is why Luke knows Josephus, as I've commented on other videos).

[@beauxcarroll8348]

The making male could refer to adulthood in the Roman world. Christ's revelations are meant to make children of God into brothers and sisters of Christ.

I thought the give us this day our daily bread was the bread of life. To be cleansed and free from all lies and encompassing the soul fully and completely. Begging for food is a very strange interpretation. Perhaps a leap of faith? The bird God feeds daily without man's interjections?

[@vhawk1951kl]

If only you creatures understood that faith and belief are *Exact_Opposites* but clearly the savages or americans - deprived of all culture, have no idea that faith and belief are *Exact opposites*, Faith being active, while belief - which is passive/automatic , is like hope, a form of dreaming and thus tends to stupefy the reason or what can apprehend what is and cannot be different. Of course, not being able to understand that,some suppose belief to be something other than a maleficent weakness which Joshua/jesus explicitly forbade his pupils.

[@gullstenmarkku]

Mary Magdalene was a witch, the initiator of one small field that died in wars, from the first day of the old Stone Age, a branch of the family that planted seeds and plants in the ground, whose men had died many times and places in wars, robberies, revolutions, coups, villages in the regions, and men without lineage, gave birth to many daughters of the lineage because of the missing male part in the genome, but the man was absent, and for this reason the women behaved strangely in the opinion of others, because the lover is not to be found in the natural rhythms found in our genes, and those who wandered alone in search of a lonely man strangely alone were called witches in Europe. Thus began Mary Magdalene's life, to whom came the pitiful Joseph and put Mary, through whom through Mary came the bread boy, Christ, the name Jesus Christ, who is a branch of the fisherman's lineage, who also ate bearded vultures, the river Niilo, the Egyptian region.

[@timmansfield3935]

As a self described Christian Rationalist cannot fathom the ignorant discourse around the work of the late Barbara Thiering. Her findings and conclusions are irrefutable and make way for a more truthful intelligent debate around both Christianity and Islam. All the so called experts are simply being arrogantly belligerent to protect their egos at the expense of the survival of true loving and inclusive teachings of the great Jesus the Man and Jewish David King.
